Possible Nitrogen deficiency or something else?

I just went though a massive nitrogen toxicity situation, and super flush. And now this is new. Does this look like nitrogen deficiency or is it something else now?

Also if it is N def, should I add worm castings or will regular feeding do well enough?

Do you have a journal? If you don’t I suggest starting one that would be a great way of keeping up with advice people give you and for others to know what you’ve done and what you haven’t done during your grow. Makes it easier for the Growmies to help out :facepunch: :call_me_hand::sunglasses:

Need some basic info on your grow like:
How late in flower are you, what’s your pH and PPM runoff, do you use soil or hydro, type of light and wattage and what type of nutes you are feeding?

Hello,

I am two days into week 4 of flower (9/4/24) with 6 plants in 5 gal pots. I use soil, FFHF & Perlite. 8x4 tent. 2x Vivosun vs4000 leds, 400w each. I feed the FF trio liquid nutes and calmag & iron.

This pic is where I started with the N tox

And this is where I wound up after flushing.

I don’t have a journal, but I have saved pretty much everything I can think of. Need any other info let me know and I’ll do my best! TIA

Looks like you were overfeeding. Now that you have them flushed back down below 1000ppm you can resume feeding. How much are you feeding? How often?

I was following FF rec, once a week. I’m not sure what happened originally unless I just used all 3 each time instead of using the 1 every other feed. After flush I was thinking of starting small with calmag 5ml/g & big bloom 5ml/g. Or should I go back to all 3? Btw I forgot to mention I use RODI water, idk if it matters.

You can follow their chart but cut all the measurements in half to start with and go from there. Water slowly to make sure the media is getting saturated. If the soil is dry and you water too fast it will just flood up and run down the sides of the pot instead of running through the medium. Keep an eye on your runoff. When it drops down between 800PPM and 1000PPM it’s time to feed again. That way you are only feeding what she needs.

Awesome, thank you so much… it’s so nice to have a clear cut direction to proceed rather than just stressful winging!

I use the ff trio. I always feed at full strength and follow the feeding schedule. I will feed, water,feed,water.
They are designed to all be used together with the calmag.
Your tips look a little burnt. Not bad at all. I feel the plant is also just showing its colors. Here is a chart if you dont have one. Looking good.

Hi all, this is my first grow and so far so good. I left for a week long trip and crossed my fingers. I came back yesterday and all look good. This one plant does look like it’s having some issues though. Any thoughts? I’m thinking nitrogen burn just from what I’ve been reading. These are the Gelato Sunrise photo seeds from ILGM and they are in FFOF soil.

are these gals photos or autos? i always feed my autos at half recommended. I cant claim to know the science behind it, but its what was advised to me years ago and has worked out for me.

also how are your low temps looking? I know weve had some chilly nights here where I live. The purple fan leaves make me wonder.

Sorry for late reply. Pictured are autos. Lowest my temps get lights off is 66°

Appreciate it!
